    <p>Can't find the old thread to recycle that but having gone unbeaten since Sydney last year the ABs now have 11 wins on the trot and it's time to start thinking about whether they can threaten the Tier 1 record of 17, set by the Fred Allen era ABs, later equalled by the Nick Mallett Boks and the 2014 ABs.<br><br>
    Or dare we imagine? Perhaps knocking the mighty Mofflons from top position with their 24 in a row.<br><br>
    As always it would depend on going through a Tri Nations ... errr Rugby Championship ... undefeated. No mean feat even given Transformation and Wallaby result v England.<br><br>
    If, and it remains a big If, they keep winning then the third Bledisloe in Auckland becomes D-day for No.18.<br><br>
    If my maths is right 25 to take the outright record would necessitate a Lions series winning second test effort ...<br><br>
    To those who think posting this kind of thread jinxes the possibility please get a grip on reality and fuck off with your superstitious bullshit :)<br><br>
    By the way ... Soon to be Number One in the World England are only two behind us on 9 in a row ...</p>

    <p>I saw the thread title and thought 'who's the tosspot that started this?'</p>

    <p>Booboo I'm surprised.</p>

    <p>LOL. That's when you know you're a true sports fan e.g. you refuse to fart while wearing your team's colours in case it produces a bad performance or some shit.</p>

    <p>Yep, just reading Carters book at the moment, lots of european memories flooding back from games mentioned 2006-2013, I'd say I missed maybe 5 AB games total over that period, pretty impressive considering some of the efforts to find a tv showing it in various foreign countries</p>

    <p>plus only the Lions next year too, so that would take it 25 after this years EOYT, I reckon we should be aiming for the RWC 2019 final, which would be what 50 tests undefeated, and then NZ could retire from rugby all together!</p>
